That it is 20 years since much-loved band Powderfinger’s hit album Odyssey Number Five came out is as mind-boggling as Super Bowl superstar J.Lo’s physique at 50. How fast the decades have flown. For anyone who kicked back with a glass of wine or a pint and mimed the words to My Happiness at their local inn there is a show to pencil into the diary – Powderfinger’s frontman Bernard Fanning at The Peninsula Picnic in Mornington. Journalist Jane Rocca met Fanning, who is a stay-at-home dad these days, since the band split, and is working on new music. He’s this week’s cover story. ●

FIRST PERSON

“ I am Émilien Boutillat ” … and I’m a chef de cave I was born in Champagne, and my father is also a

winegrower and makes his own champagne.

When I was a little boy I wanted to become a shepherd. But I think because I grew up in that world of winemaking and viticulture – pruning the vines, working in the cellar – I always wanted to work in that world, too.

For me the winemaking is very important, but everything starts in the vineyard. Taking care of the vineyard and producing good quality grapes is the first and probably most important step to make great wine or great champagne.

After my studies, I wanted to make wines other than champagnes. So I spent nine months in Bordeaux, but also wanted to go far away and learn from other parts of the world. Finally I decided to go to New Zealand, so my first experience abroad was at Mud House Wines in Blenheim.

I worked like that abroad for three years, working the north hemisphere and then south hemisphere so I was able to make two harvests in just one year, which is great. After New Zealand I went to California, then Chile and South Africa.

I joined the Piper-Heidsieck team in October 2018. I’m probably one of the youngest chef de caves (the French term for cellarmaster) – if not the youngest – for a big champagne house and I’m very happy about that. Part of my job is to be in the vineyards, in the field with the growers, talk with them and move into sustainable farming with them.

Then I have the winemaking part. We have the formal and very technical tasting, where I taste hundreds of different wines, which can be physically tiring. Because I know all the ingredients, I then start to call on my creativity in order to blend them together, to create some synergy to get something that is way better than the mix of just two ingredients. In the cuvee brut for example, I blend more than 100 different wines.

We say that you need to be patient. I build two blends today but it will be drunk as champagne in at least three years if it’s a brut, and if it’s a vintage it can be 10 or 15 years. You have to imagine how it will evolve, how it will change. ● ● piper-heidsieck.com

TELEVISION

ustralian actress Claudia Karvan, best known for her TV roles in The Secret Life of Us, Love My Way and Newton’s Law, has always done things her way and dominated our screens for more than three decades. Now the 47-year-old admits she’s learnt to worry less and dance more.

Later this year, Karvan will commence filming a new TV show for a streaming channel. It’s a comedy about contemporary families and involves a new female writer, too – but she’s tight-lipped about the details for the moment.

“I’ve been working on it for a while now and can’t wait to start filming. I am back in the acting and production role again,” Karvan says.

It was thanks to a gap in her schedule that Karvan decided to become a contestant on Channel 10’s new season of Dancing with the Stars (along with comedians Ed Kavalee and Celia Pacquola, singer Dami Im and retired AFL star Travis Cloke).

Karvan had, after all, taken up salsa dancing as a hobby three years ago to help with a herniated disc – what could go wrong?

“Yoga was really my thing; and I had to stop doing it because of my sore back,” Karvan says.

“When I was producing Doctor Doctor [in 2016], I did it from a stand-up desk, I sometimes had to have meetings on my knees and couldn’t drive very far at all. It was horrible. I was a bit at a loose end for something physical to do.”

A cortisone injection in her back sped up the recovery, but she had to quit yoga at the time. She was determined to avoid surgery so it seemed salsa dancing was just the therapy.

“I always considered myself very unco-ordinated and uninhibited when it came to dancing,” says Karvan, who with two friends turned up to a dance class three years ago ready to learn to salsa wearing diamante dance shoes for the occasion.

When Karvan takes this call, she’s just finished a four-hour dance rehearsal for Dancing with the Stars.

“It’s the most unusual job I’ve ever had,” she says.

“There’s no script, no director and there’s no responsibility in so far as learning lines or acting goes, but I thought I’d be having more fun to be honest, it’s a little bit harder than I had originally thought.

Behind the scenes of

the secret life of CLAUDIA From screen queen to dancing queen, Claudia Karvan finds fulfilment in her “most unusual” role.

Wo r d s

“I don’t feel competitive and am not a perfectionist but I have an amazing dance partner and I don’t want to let him down. I am trusting his intuition here.”

While she’s usually the one mentoring young actors seeking advice for success on the screen, the tables have now turned.

“I do feel lucky to be able to learn something new at my age,” she says. “I am usually in the position of mentoring, so this is a real luxury – I’ll come out of this with half a dancing degree.”

Karvan, who lives in Sydney with her husband Jeremy Sparks and their two teenage children (daughter Audrey, 18, and son Albee, 13) scored three AFI Awards for her production work alongside John Edwards for Love My Way between 2005 and 2007. In the series she played Francesca “Frankie” Paige and she looks back on it with much affection.

“I rarely reflect on my career to be brutally honest, I tend to spend more time reflecting on family, relationships, friendships and that sort of thing,” Karvan says.

“But a seismic shift happened when I produced Love My Way – that was my fork in the road moment and it was really satisfying for me.”

While she dabbled in Hollywood and the big screen (Daybreakers and Aquamarine), the actress found her niche on Australian television and

became a Logie-winning favourite; stealing hearts with her role as Dr Alex Christensen in The Secret Life of Us from 2001 to 2003, as Judy Vickers in Puberty Blues (2012-13) and Caroline Tivoli in The Time Of Our Lives (2013-14).

She’s been a hit on the ABC, SBS, Stan and various commercial networks, but for all her accolades, Karvan isn’t scrambling to find more projects to do.

“I like to have a focus, yes, but my eyes aren’t bigger than my belly,” says Karvan of her career ambition. “As I have gotten older I am not tolerant of stress. I like being a bit more realistic about what I can achieve with my days and like to go a bit slower.

“I like to do things, but not too much when it comes to work. I am certainly not the kind of person who wants to put too much on my plate.”

Karvan, who is learning Spanish, treks for eight kilometres in the Blue Mountains with an experienced hiking buddy and loves to travel, says she’s happiest when flying to destinations she’s been to before.

“I frequently return to places – I’ve done Chile five times, Bali is a regular go-to because my dad and best friend live there and I’d love to visit Uruguay and Colombia,” she says.

But for now the focus is squarely on the dance floor – although you can catch a glimpse of her in True History Of The Kelly Gang as Ms Shelton, too.

“I know the director Justin Kurzel and am a huge fan,” she says. “I really enjoyed it; it’s original and left me feeling very unsettled. I’m a huge fan of Essie Davis too. It’s quite violent and really affecting and actually deserving of all the attention.” ●

VILL AGE LIFE

A growing movement Take a local holiday and help fire-affected communities rebuild.

I

JOSIE WITHERS

n recent weeks the chorus of From Little Things Big Things Grow, Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody’s 1991 Indigenous land rights ballad, has been playing in my head.

“From little things, big things grow.” As Australians respond with compassion and generosity to the bushfires crisis, we once again witness the potential of communities, rather than politicians, to change the world in which we live.

Every new bushfire fundraising idea has triggered support, ideas, debate and action. Australians have given money to the Red Cross, to the Australian arm of the World Wildlife Fund, to the CFA, to the Salvos, to regional Lions Clubs. To Celeste Barber.

We’ve sent care packages, food parcels, building materials. We’ve knitted pouches for burns-afflicted mammals. Shopkeepers have donated a day’s takings, tradies have donated their labour, writers have donated book royalties.

“Imagine if, in 2020, Australians think local rather than international. Bermagui instead of Bali.”

From little things, big things grow.

While watching bushfire coverage on their televisions and smartphones, families have started important discussions about our fragile ecosystem and the impact of climate change. Voters are writing to their local members, people are marching to show their discontent, and schools are adapting their syllabi to include bushfire and climate discussion.

And then there is the outpouring of concern for the future of those rural communities affected by the fires. Our concern is sincere. It’s genuine. We all want to know: what can we do to help?

My brother has the right idea. He and his missus have ditched their April plans for an inland Australia camping trip. Instead, they are heading to Mallacoota.

“If you’re a grey nomad like me, you come to realise how much country communities appreciate

and need your business,” Steve told me in a text. “A week in Gippsland and I’m going to contribute food, drink, golf fees, camping ground charges, petrol – and who knows what else. That’s got to help.”

It is a view shared by the Empty Esky campaign.

“We are a movement of foodies and adventurers on a mission to support local businesses affected by the #australianfires,” says @emptyesky on Instagram.

“Join us as we grab our empty Eskies and hit the road when safe to do so to support our fellow Aussies in East Gippsland and the NSW South Coast as they rebuild their businesses.”

From little things, big things grow. “We should do what my brother is doing,” I announced to the family as we chatted about possible getaways in 2020. “How about we take a week off and drive up the New South Wales coast?”

It didn’t take long to find @roadtripforgood, an

Wo r d s

Instagram account that celebrates beautiful rural destinations and urges followers to “support bushfire-affected towns by going on a road trip”.

Imagine if, in 2020, Australians think local rather than international. Bermagui instead of Bali.

Imagine if our nation’s campers, grey nomads, families on school holidays, corporations in search of a place to host their next executive retreat or conference found their perfect destination within the fire-affected regions?

“A lot of these businesses make up to 30 per cent of their yearly revenue over the Christmas and New Year’s period,” Erin Boutros, one of Empty Esky’s creators, told domain.com.au recently.

“By visiting a bushfire-affected community, we can simulate the local economy and invest muchneeded funds back into these towns, in a way that is dignified and sustainable.”

Bernard Fanning frontman, soon to release a fresh record WHAT \ Playing The Peninsula Picnic WHERE \ Mornington

T

his year marks the 20th anniversary of Powderfinger’s Odyssey Number Five album – your highest selling record and one that produced four hit singles. What do you recall of that period?

At the time we were coming off a massive international tour. I think we spent nine weeks at home. But, like anything, you get tired of touring and being away from those you love. That feeling really did feed into the feel of Odyssey Number Five. Most of the songs are about

missing people and My Happiness is about that – it’s about happiness creeping back in and then you have to go again. It’s often used as a wedding song, which baffles me to this day (laughs) along with the single These Days – which is about days that turned out nothing like I planned. It’s not the right signal to send to your prospective partner, but it’s another popular wedding song.

I guess it has a feel-good melody to it and people love the feeling it conjures.

Why do you think Powderfinger resonated with so many Australians?

It’s always hard to know why when you’re within it. I think people really connected with the songwriting – people like the emotional place it came from. But we’re also a pretty damn good rock ’n’ roll band; there’s that primal aspect people love too. I think people loved us because our success didn’t happen overnight either – it was a long experiment that lasted more than 20 years. We kept getting better in my opinion. We always tried to improve on what we had done before; we weren’t enamoured with the idea of celebrating our achievements. You never reach an end goal when you’re in a band like ours. Sure there’s

milestones along the way, but you’re always trying to improve. The celebrity angle wasn’t our bag. I think people appreciated that as well; we tried to use whatever media power we had to raise awareness about social issues – there’s a long line of bands that have done that before us and we were part of that tradition.

When will we see another solo album by you released?

I am writing for another record to be released in 2021. I am a stay-at-home dad (two kids aged 10 and seven) while my wife is studying, so I am home a lot with the kids. They’re both in school now, but I am in charge of managing all that as well as spending time in the studio writing when I get a chance.

Can you give us a hint of what to expect?

I haven’t kind of come up with a vision as such, but I have been playing more electric guitar and moving away from previous acoustic guitar and piano-driven tracks. I think it’ll be more rock ’n’ roll and boisterous this time. Sitting by myself and inventing something that wasn’t there a few minutes ago is what excites me.

You live in Byron Bay – a popular place for famous people to retreat to now.

It’s an incredible place to live; life here isn’t that different to how others get on with their lives, though. It’s become absurdly hectic and for the old locals, I guess it’s changed a lot.

The people who were here prior to the past 10 to 15 years have noticed a shift. But there’s always been surfers, musicians and artists here since the 1960s. It was a hippy fishing town; but it’s not like all the celebrities are hosting parties for us to attend. We’re doing our family thing.

What can we expect from your show at The Peninsula Picnic?

I have Powderfinger’s Ian Haug playing guitar with me; so that’ll be amazing. We haven’t been on stage together since Powderfinger split in 2010. He’s great company and I know it sounds cheesy, but it’s like having one of your brothers around. I have an instinctive sense of where Ian might go musically on stage. ● THE PENINSULA PICNIC \ Music

very time you visit a restaurant, do so with an innocent-until-proven-guilty mentality.

Trust the experience will be enjoyable.

Trust the chef. Trust the sommelier.

That’s what I want to tell the bloke sitting beside me, his booming voice overcompensating for a small frame and an entitled hand waving over Lagoon Dining staff.

Someone approaches the slate bar that frames the open kitchen just in time for him to bellow, “Shiraz shouldn’t be on this menu because it doesn’t go with Asian food”. Later, he tells her the char siu roasted over charcoal would be “meh” without its daikon accompaniment, so she should probably instruct diners to have a little of the latter with every mouthful.

Wo r d s

I doubt small-man-big-voice knows the pedigree of the trio that opened Lagoon Dining and fussed over its exciting, mod-Chinese menu.

Owners Chris Lerch, Keat Lee and Ned Trumble met in 2013 at Ezard; Lerch front-of-house and the others mid cooking-apprenticeship. Susan Wyles, the fourth partner, was a regular customer.

When Mr Knowitall isn’t disturbing the equilibrium, Lagoon is fun and fashionable, without being faddish.

But, if Mr Knowitall can suggest how to eat, I can suggest how to order. Try dumping fried rice briny with salted fish, dried anchovies and bottarga into your umami-fied XO dregs from tightly rolled bundles of rice noodles with cured pork belly.

He’s wrong about the shiraz, by the way. My S O F IA L E VI N

medium-bodied, cool-climate Aussie shiraz-cab stands up to the bold flavours of Xinjiang spiced lamb ribs crusted with cumin and mildly numbing pepper, served with a tussock of finely julienned leek painted orange with house hot sauce.

There are more delicate dishes, too. Kingfish is so fresh it could almost swim in its tangerine pool of crustacean oil. Sichuan’s answer to potato salad, a mass of just-cooked matchsticks tossed through with black rice vinegar, pickled enoki and the namesake pepper is foreplay for saliva glands.

Perhaps the cleverness of Lagoon Dining’s menu is lost on you, Mr Knowitall.

Grand Designs made its TV debut in 1999, and McCloud has made a living by taking the audience inside people’s homes to be part of the design and construction process.

There’s so much more to the series than the fabulous home itself – it’s as much about human relationships as it is about finding the best natural light and engineering headaches.

“We all succumb to the vagaries of fashion and try to keep up with the Joneses, impress our neighbours and show them that we’re cool,” says McCloud, who also studied opera in Florence before he became famous. “But when it comes to homes, you have to be careful not to be a slave to fashion.

you buy a new suit; you wear it once and don’t wear it again. It’s not sustainable in the broader sense of consuming, nor is it meaningful for the planet.

“I have a rule of thumb for the show and that is if your project is looking like a furniture show room we’re not interested. There’s no story, no personality or individual there.

“In reality, people live in a far messier way than that. I tell people to stay cool and relax. My house is as messy as yours and I don’t have a trendy kettle at home even though I’d like to buy one.”

When it comes to his own dream home, McCloud says it will involve his son who is also an architect.

“I’ve always wanted a place to sit in a hammock in the rain, but be able to be dry under a cover watching the sunset in the distance while drinking a glass of white,” he says. “I want to be able to have a shower outside in the middle of winter – that’s my quirky thing.”

McCloud, who separated from his wife, Suzi, an interior designer, after 23 years of marriage a few years ago, didn’t expect the tabloids to still be on his case. And while the topic is offlimits, it’s McCloud who brings it up in the conversation. “As Kenneth Williams once said in Carry On Cleo, ‘Infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it in for me’.

“We actually separated two and a half years ago and one particular British newspaper wrote about it last month like it happened on Wednesday,” McCloud says. “It’s ridiculous; [a] complete distortion. We are very good friends.”

McCloud admits that being in public isn’t easy – he’d rather talk about art and architecture over a decent glass of wine any day. “When I’m not working on the show I love working on old cars and competing in the mud driving one from the 1920s or ’30s,” he says. “I also like mountains, climbing and getting out to the natural world.” ● THE WORLD ACCORDING TO KEVIN McCLOUD \ Arts Centre Melbourne, February 16.

When Brightonians talk about “the right side of the Nepean” they mean the beach side.

This opulent new house is comfortably on the right side, and also parkside; nestled between Dendy Park, Sillitoe Reserve and Brighton Golf Course, it’s delightfully right all round. Completed last year, the two-storey house seems straight from the French world of good manors. A tailored garden wraps its symmetrical facade. The northerly rear is equally graceful, with a covered terrace opening to the lawn, pool and spa, setting the scene for summertime pleasure.

Inside, all is polished to perfection. Oak herringbone floors, dado panels, chandeliers and a wrought-iron staircase create a quiet luxury. The four living areas include a fullyequipped cinema. Upstairs, four bedrooms share a retreat.

There’s a ground-floor study (or fifth bedroom), plus a second study tucked behind the family room.

Luxurious yet practical, the manor has everything in place for easy-breezy family living.

The bliss begins at the double front doors. (Or in the garage with internal access, if you prefer.)
